sure! Maya fundamentals we certainly get you started! also we have a bunch of free videos in our movie area for download... then if you want to get more in depth you can look in our VIP area.
There is also some great advice under the F1 button of maya!
And a bunch of tutorials in the tutorials links area.
But most of all "start simple" simple shapes and pull them about into basic shapes. Ask lots of questions to!! And no question is to dumb here!! so...
And have fun!

If I were to give some advice to a fellow newbie, it would have to concern with the issue of not "giving up" on figuring out how the tool works. If something doesn't "work" then you have to dig into the manual or simply ask around for adwise.
Hotkeys and marking menus are way useful. After a while you would also (perhaps) want to make some shelf-buttons on your own (transferring menu items to the shalf, and also by customizing buttons)(it is soo easy to do this).
Example:
-A button for setting the pivot point of an object, to the center of the grid (for easy mirroring against an axis)
-A button for doing the mirrroring op. for say, the X axis.
Come to think of it, I guess I could make a single button to do both of the above
Well...
this is the only examples I've got to this date.These were my first concerns, when I first started;
"How the hell do I mirror an object???"
"How does the snap tool work?"
"And what are these nurbs thingies?, I don't get it!"
"I hate the nurbs-cube primitive (always has/always will)"
"oooohh *sigh* that hypershader-network looks totally complex"
"aaaarhg... I used the group tool too much, and now my "outliner" is messed up with lots of unknown nodes"
"aaaaarhg... Why does that object not show up in the renderview?"
But that was just a bit of unpatience of my part. Eventually the questions gets answered.
I do not support Bush! Nor Saddam! Long live UN!

Asking what makes Maya the "best" is like asking which car/food/drink/computer is the best. There is no real answer to it, and it usually boils down to personal preference and production needs. All of the major 3D programs do basically the same thing: they're just tools. In the right hands, good work can come out of any those programs.
